  • The Joe Niekro Foundation Knuckle-Up Newsletter
    The Joe Niekro Foundation Knuckle-Up Newsletter December 2011 RESEARCHERS FIND GENETIC LINK BETWEEN HEART DISEASE AND BRAIN ANEURYSMS Yale School of Medicine researchers have discovered that a variant of a gene linked to heart disease also increases the risk of deadly aneurysms of blood vessels in the brain. The discovery of this link raises hopes for new treatments for intracranial aneurysms, which affect more than a half million people worldwide annually. “Existing drugs already target this common pathway and, in the future, could help treat or pre- vent aneurysms in people who are at risk,” said Murat Gunel, professor of neurosurgery, genetics and neurobiology and senior author of the study, published the week of Nov. 21 in the Proceed- ings of the National Academy of Sciences. Intracranial aneurysms, or bursting blood vessels in the brain, often strike without warning in people 40 to 60 years of age. Under the leadership of Gunel and Richard Lifton, Sterling Professor A variant of gene and chair of the Department of Genetics at Yale and an investigator for the Howard Hughes Medi- linked to heart cal Institute (HHMI), an international team of scientists has conducted a massive analysis of the disease has been genes of tens of thousands of aneurysm patients and control subjects searching for variants that linked with the risk increase the risk of the condition. of bursting blood The new survey of nearly 20,000 people conducted at the Yale Center for Genome Analysis is the third to identify genetic risk factors of aneurysms. The analysis identified three additional regions of DNA associated with the condition, bringing the number of variants associated with aneurysm risk to eight.

    ������������������������������������������������������������������������ ������������������������������������������������������������ ���������������� �������������������� ��������������� ���������������� �������������������� ����������������� ����������������������� ����������������������������������������������������� 2 SUMMER STARS Thursday, June 22, 2006 From The Cheap Seats Saying It All, Nothing At All BY RICH MACLONE It must be a big deal when an event can pull about 200 people out of bed early on a Sunday morning, and that’s what happened on June 11. The Cape Cod Baseball League held its annual First Pitch brunch at The 99 Res- taurant in West Yarmouth, and it packed the house. Normally these types of things aren’t my cup of tea (actu- ally, let’s change that expression to coffee from now on. I mean, really, who drinks tea?). They tend to be boring, with a bunch of nothing spoken, but the CCBL ones are a bit dif- ferent, although still, nothing much gets said on the podium. First, the CCBL has been bringing in WEEI’s Pete Shep- pard, of Big Show fame, to emcee the events and the big guy never fails to entertain. One of the highlights of the event happened when Sheppard lost his place in his notes mid-sentence, saying that one of the coaches “en- joyed ...life.” It was silly, but it brought the house down. And having Sheppard in the house always opens the door for countless dog food and Tom Brady cracks for me and my broadcast partner Darin Weeks. People may wonder why I laugh so much on the air, but they’ve never had to sit next to Mr. Weeks for three straight hours. As for the coaches and their speeches, well there wasn’t much learned.

  • Southern News Summer 2013
    A letter from the president FSC Is Making Entrepreneurship Part of Our Mission Whenever I speak with people about Florida Southern College, I always emphasize that our mission is to prepare the highly talented young people entrusted to us to make a positive and consequential impact on our nation and our world. Our graduates do that in so many ways: in the classic professions of law, medicine, science, and religion, and also by starting their own businesses. As a land of unparalleled opportunity, America has been a place where entrepreneurs thrive, and we believe that FSC has helped our graduates take advantage of that opportunity. Over the years, the Barney Barnett School of Business and Free Enterprise has had outstanding faculty members who have inspired their students to dare to accomplish great things. Some of our alumni, through the training they have received here as well as through skill and courage, have taken the risk of becoming entrepreneurs and succeeded in building businesses that have provided essential goods and services to millions of Americans. I hope you will read the inspiring stories in the following pages of nine of our alumni who are proud entrepreneurs and business owners. They represent many more FSC alums who are admirably fulfilling our mission. That mission goes on, and the Barney Barnett School of Business and Free Enterprise is building on its legacy of excellence. You will also read in this edition of Southernnews about ground being broken for the new, state-of-the-art Becker Business Building that will be the future home for the Barnett School.
